Formed in the early '90s, Kansas City outlaws Cretin 66 set out to bring their patented brand of USDA prime R&BPUNKROCK’N’ROLLFUCKEDUPMETALLICNOISE to the hungry masses across this fine country and around the world. And bring it they have, converting audiences far and wide to the way of the Cretin and sharing their love of all the finer things in life - sex, drugs, rock & roll, cartoon teenagers that ride around in their van solving mysteries with their talking dog etc. - with anyone willing to have their minds suitably expanded. These four handsome devils kick out the jams and pour on the charm on Demolition Safari, the follow up to their much touted debut disc Burnin' Rubber Outta Hell's Garage (on Middle Class Pig.) After burning much asphalt with the 440s, and possibly some other van fluids, on the Hot Rails To Hell tour the band is gonna take a little rest before gearing back up for more hell raising in the fall. Stay tuned.

Cretin 66 hails from the outer fringes of Kansas City, more precisely, Independence. Their longwinded, yet accurate mission state reads the following," R&BPUNKROCK'N'ROLLFUCKEDUPMETALLICNOISE." Influenced by the MC5, Ramones, KISS, Blue Cheer, Pabst Blue Ribbon, and various other activities that cause them to be labelled, "the kids from the wrong side of the tracks." These dudes are not afraid to show off their rock and roll roots and tell all the prozac injected, mall store punk rats to "GO TO HELL!" CRETIN will either make their life more miserable, or force repentence from their sorry ass dogmatic ways. Just perch your ears towards their most recent compact ditty, Demolition Safari. In order to maximize their virtuous motto,"All songs are for entertainment purposes only," they scouted stateside until finding Philadelphia's Steel Cage Records, while their international espionage ring already had hunted down some red headed American mischievous, commanding Deutschland's Middle Class Pig Records. CRETIN 66's tunes are LOUD, straight forward, and most importantly, catchy. Just force me to cease any further proclamations, which could result in the breaking of some equal opportunity laws. Just dutifully purchase this PRONTO!

Cretin 66 hail from Kansas City, Missouri. They draw inspiration from the same sources as bands like the Supersuckers. But what distinguishes this band from the crowd is singer/songwriter Screamin' Mikey C., who has an uncanny ability to write fast, hooky material and with consistent ease. He also manages to coin one clever lyrical line after another - like so many hidden cards up a sleeve - while seamlessly avoiding cliches and pretentiousness, and never sounding contrived or forced—just fun. He bridges it all together with a vast quotient of memorable, catchy vocal choruses, somewhat akin to that of the Ramones or even Naked Raygun, though here you'll chant '"dunce" instead of "whoa-e-oh" or "hey-ho." Maybe more appealing to the lower common denom. Goes well with a six or two but high-brows may find every reason to like it too.
